wow Curly....that could have been disasterous for you pets!!! Good thing you made it home. I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother. Poor thing...but she's lived a good life as you say, 95. Enjoy and treasure your time you share with her.

Hi Everyone!

I had an ok day today. I did workout but ended up having around 1900 calories again. Tomorrow is my weigh day but I'm not hopeful.

Curly how are you doing? Did you day of rest revive you? I was sorry to hear about your grandmother.

I had bad news today. My gym work out world is closing due to lack of membership. I really want to be able to keep up with the weight lifting. I do the resistance machine at curves but it's nothing like lifting 50 pounds!

I may have to join Bally's which I really dislike for a numer of reasons.

oh Val....don't you just hate that!! Well no worries, you'll find another place.

I weighed in at 1 lb lighter even with TOM..... so yay for me!!! Slow and steady. Everyone try to stay cool!!!

Angel congrats on the pound lost

I also lost a pound on my weigh in today although it's the same pound I've lost and regained a few times already!

Yayyyyyyy!!! Congrats Val & Angel!!! 1 lb lost is 1 lb lost!

Curly~ Thank goodness you got to the animals soon! Wow, it's kinda overwhelming to think how dependent on us Our animals really are. You are a great mom Oh, I agree with Val, and I proved it tonite , we went out to dinner ( a very rare occasion) and I wasn't able to pass on the fries . Heh, shoulda read my 3FC before we went. It may have gave me that lil extra push to skip the potatoes.....

I hope you're all staying cool these days.

hey guys!

had a great day off yesterday .. played on the scooter and the row boat and got some sun... forgot to mention before that i have started doing crunches each night ... my grandmother has this like water pillow that she did use in her wheelchair ... i was lookin at it and said hmmmm i bet if i put that under my lower back i can do floor exercises again (back issues) and yet I can i am up to 40 crunches each night ... i try to add 5 more each night!!!!


umm better get off this puter since my mom is here and trying to get my house back under control... have a great day!

Dee I wouldn't worry about the fries too much. I think its ok to have one cheat a week and mine are very often fries or pizza! I just seem to crave those two.

Curly good job on the situps!!

I'm going to another street festival today. My diet was a minor disaster last time I was at a street fest with all the different foods to buy. I'm going to try and just stick with one thing today!

Good job on the inflatable cushion for crunches Curly!!! thats using your noggin!!! How's grandma today? and those kittens?

Valerie....How was the street festival? Lots of walking....is good! Hope the weather wasn't too hot for you.

Just waiting for dh and ds to get home from camping. It was a boy scout over nighter, with archery, bb guns, canoeing events. Hopefully it wasn't too hot for them in the tent....hehe I've done the laundry, and cleaning....
Yesterday I picked up a few things on sale. Not sure if I mentioned this, but in the near future I hope to be looking for a job. Its a great time to be buying since lots are on sale right now and the new fall clothes are coming in. It feels really great to be wearing smaller sizes !!!! And in 2 weeks, we are leaving to go home to Canada to see our family!!!! Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far.

Hi everyone!

The street fest wasn't all that great as far as eating. The idea is I get one cheat meal a week.. not a cheat DAY! At the festival I had a slice of pizza which on its own would have been ok but them I got fried cheese sticks AND french fries. Then we went out for dinner afterwards and I had more PIZZA.

I'm going to be good for the rest of the week! Really.

For all you animal lovers I found some really cute screensavers for your mobile phone. I got 4 cute pictures of kittens and dogs for my phone for free.

Hi Everyone!


I hope everyone is doing well! I had a good day today with 1077 deficit. I worked out at curves and did 3 1/2 times around the circuit. I also went for a 1/2 hour walk outside

hi guys... looks like everyone is staying op and behaving themselves! just wanted to check in! i myself have not been behaving myself so well...

my grandmother passed away monday morning... i just want to thank u all for your support and prayers these past months.. I probably wont be back till next week when all this craziness is over with.. yesterday i was running all over the place trying to find a dress cuz i didnt have any thing suitable that fits and i gave away all the ones that were 2 big!!! lol haha i had some simple black dresses but they are 2 small cuz they are 14's and they are dream dresses!!!


which will be my focus after this week to fit into the 14's!!!!

hugs all... be good ..

Curly I'm sorry to hear about your Grandmother I hope you're doing ok. I will keep you in my thoughts.

I had a good day with a 1100 deficit. I went to work out at Bally's. Gosh I hate it there. The guys just blatently were stareing at me when I was lifting weights.

Curly~ I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I do look forward to seeing you be able to focus on yourself again. I know being able to get back onto your own schedule will be wonderful for you! See you soon.

Val~ Is Ballys your only other option? Those guys staring?-.... They're prolly just jealous cuz you are so good. heheheh.... You just Keep On Truckin' GF!!!

It's been so hot here this week. We had 114 up here a couple days. I havn't been able to be inside- even sleeping in my tent in the yard! It works, except the kittens keep jumping on it all night.. I think they like the noise it makes. I'm getting used to it now, but it scared the heck out of me at first lol... I had today off and spent some time at the beach, then hit the river for a couple hours this evening lol... Anyway, the heat is wrecking havock on my diet. I'm cooking at work and bringing it home, or eating out, or whatever.... not the worst foods, but not real balanced meals either. SO I'm STILL working on the same 2 lbs that keep coming and going lol.... Next week I want to se them gone forever! I can do it! it's just 2 lil pounds!!!!

You ladies have a great day. to everyone!!!

oh Curly....I'm soo sorry to hear about your Grandmother. You've been feeling it coming for awhile now, and I think in your heart of hearts....knew it was the best for her esp. since her stroke last week. It is such a stressful situation, but I know you will come out of this!!! Good luck dealing with all the family members at a time like this, why do funerals bring out the worst in people? Hopefully all will go well. Take care of yourself!!!

Iwmonn.....let me get this straight.....with temps of 114 YOU ARE SLEEPING OUTSIDE??? What no A/C?? wow...whatever works for you GF!!! I needs my A/C!!!

Valerie....I'm of the impression that those oogling guys are watching your excellent form and wondering just how you do it!!! More power to you!!! Don't give them another thought.

Still trying to cope with this head cold of mine. Onto day 3 now, and I still fell like poop. And....I AM POOPED!!! Major head congestion, so much so that I get the whoosh whoosh affect like a heart beating in my ears!!! NOt much excercising going on, but my food is great and OP. Heck...I even lost 1.5 lbs. Try to stay cool everyone!!!

LOL Angel~ Yes, no AC.. it usually only hits maybe 102 for a few days during the year but this is an extremely hot one... I can just head down the hill and be at the ocean in a few minutes and it's usually high60, low70 there. I should clarify- the 114 was on the porch in full sun. We have 2 acres full of Redwoods & Pines, but there is about a 50' fire line around the house so no shade over it .. it cooled off in the eves to 80's but just never got unstuffy inside so the tent was a great solution... (I told Lee if it gets like this again, I want an AC for next year ) Today was wonderful... nothing over 92 hehehe... yayyyyyyyyy!

So I head to my meeting tonight... weigh in, take the tsk tsk from my leader and get on with it!!! WOOOOOT.. I'm going to get rid of these 2lbs this week.... FOREVER!!! Gonna follow my points this time around... ALL WEEK!!!

Feel better Angel! You're headed on vacation soon aren't you? Take your vitamins gf

((((val))))), ((((Petra)))), (((((Curly)))).... and lisaWY, Louie, Momx4, L2L, Turtle, Zoey, Charlie, Gwena, ummmmmmm and all the other PIC's & future PIC's out there
